Glad it worked out ok. Just monitor it for a couple of days to make sure it stays good, and always monitor it for a while after adding livestock. :good:

i dont want to sound stupid
but why do you need to cycle for 2 months, isnt that a little bit long?? :blush:

WOOOHOOOO! See, a mini cycle doesnt last too long! Now you know in the future after adding fish what to expect though! I added 5 blue zebra cichlids to my malawi tank 2 weeks ago, didnt get a mini spike, i added 5 red zebra's yesterday and i am expecting a spike when i test later, but just a little one! Sometimes, it depends on how big the fish is too Zoe, the red zebras i added, one of them is 3" long and the others are 1.5", so thats 7.5" in total and i will surely get a spike from that! Glad your sorted! GRJ

Thats how long it took. I had No idea about cycling etc bought a tank and loaded it with unwated fish a friend was getting rid off. i had no deaths think it was due to 3 water changes every day for 2 months. which would also have made cycle longer. well worth the weight tho. my fishless cycle tank only took 2 weeks with no Show of Nitrite it got processed that fast. all tanks are different
